Dear James Goodrich:

Thank you for your Internet request.

Our records indicate that your 1999 Ford Mustang is equipped with both the Full Front Air Bags and the Anti-Theft Device. However, since you do not carry the Comprehensive coverage or the Medical Payments coverage, the discounts are not applicable on your policy at this time.

You may qualify for the Good Student Discount. To be eligible, you must be enrolled full time in school and have at least a 3.0 GPA. You would need to send us a copy of the most recent report card which has a cumulative average listed in order to apply this discount. Please mail this information to the address listed below making sure to include your policy number on each page sent.

yet, i have had discounts on the same exact liablity insurance preivously. i know i have, but i still have to find the papers, and when i do, they will have to acknowledge that what they told me in this email is fucking bullshit.

oh, and for liability reasons, since i am the sole intended receipent, i get to choose how i distribute or not distribute this information.

also, you now know my first and last names, and thus the reason for 'theoriginaljames' 's reason for having the otz screen name.

Car insurance in the US appears to be much different than here in Australia...

 

[Peter Parka]

I loved the insurance in Australia. They insure the car, not the person so while I was over there I could drive everyones car without paying a penny in insurance!

 

[TheOriginalJames]

My last name is far different from yours.

As for the discounts vs purchases thing. I have an assload of insurance through statefarm, renters ins., disability, life ins., auto ins., etc... and my insurance is cheap as hell (132 a month) for a 24 year old with a sports coupe.

I get more discounts than what the premiums cost me.
